SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS: Authors should submit their articles electronically via the Elsevier Editorial System (EES) page of this
journal (http://ees.elsevier.com/cpr). The system automatically converts
source files to a single Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the article, which is used in the peer-review process. Please note that even though
manuscript source files are converted to PDF at submission for the review process, these source files are needed for further processing
after acceptance. All correspondence, including notification of the Editor's decision and requests for revision, takes place by e-mail
and via the Author's homepage, removing the need for a hard-copy paper trail. Questions about the appropriateness of a manuscript should
be directed (prior to submission) to the Editorial Office, details at URL above. Papers should not exceed 50 pages (including references).
Submission of an article implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or
as part of a published lecture or academic thesis), that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, that its publication
is approved by all authors and tacitly or explicitly by the responsible authorities where the work was carried out, and that, if accepted,
it will not be published elsewhere in the same form, in English or in any other language, without the written consent of the Publisher.
FORMAT: We accept most wordprocessing formats, but Word, WordPerfect or LaTeX are preferred. Always keep a backup copy of
the electronic file for reference and safety. Save your files using the default extension of the program used.
Please provide the
following data on the title page (in the order given).
Title. Concise and informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.
Author names and affiliations. Where the family name may be ambiguous
(e.g., a double name), please indicate this clearly. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below
the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate
address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name, and, if available, the e-mail address of each
author.
Corresponding author. Clearly indicate who is willing to handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication,
also post-publication. Ensure that telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address
and the complete postal address.
Present/permanent address. If an author has moved since the work described in the article
was done, or was visiting at the time, a 'Present address' (or 'Permanent address') may be indicated as a footnote to that author's name.
The address at which the author actually did the work must be retained as the main, affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals
are used for such footnotes.
Abstract. A concise and factual abstract is required (not exceeding 200 words). This should
be typed on a separate page following the title page. The abstract should state briefly the purpose of the research, the principal results
and major conclusions. An abstract is often presented separate from the article, so it must be able to stand alone. References should
therefore be avoided, but if essential, they must be cited in full, without reference to the reference list.
STYLE AND REFERENCES:
Manuscripts should be carefully prepared using the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 5th ed., 1994, for style.
The reference section must be double spaced, and all works cited must be listed. Please note that journal names are not to be abbreviated.
Reference Style for Journals:
Cook, J. M., Orvaschel, H., Simco, E., Hersen, M., and Joiner, Jr., T. E. (2004). A test of the tripartite
model of depression and anxiety in older adult psychiatric outpatients, Psychology and Aging, 19, 444-45.
For Books:
Hersen, M. (Ed.). (2005). Comprehensive handbook of behavioral assessment (2 Volumes). New York: Academic Press (Elsevier Scientific).
TABLES AND FIGURES: Present these, in order, at the end of the article. High-resolution graphics files must always be provided
separate from the main text file (see http://ees.elsevier.com/cpr for
full instructions, including other supplementary files such as high-resolution images, movies, animation sequences, background datasets,
sound clips and more).
PAGE PROOFS AND OFFPRINTS: When your manuscript is received by the Publisher it is considered to be
in its final form. Proofs are not to be regarded as 'drafts'.
One set of page proofs will be sent to the corresponding author, to be
checked for typesetting/editing. No changes in, or additions to, the accepted (and subsequently edited) manuscript will be allowed at
this stage. Proofreading is solely the authors' responsibility. The Publisher reserves the right to proceed with publication if corrections
are not communicated. Please return corrections within 3 days of receipt of the proofs. Should there be no corrections, please confirm
this.
COPYRIGHT: Upon acceptance of an article, authors will be asked to transfer copyright (for more information on copyright,
see http://www.elsevier.com). This transfer will ensure the widest possible dissemination of information. A letter will
be sent to the corresponding author confirming receipt of the manuscript. A form facilitating transfer of copyright will be provided.
If excerpts from other copyrighted works are included, the author(s) must obtain written permission from the copyright owners and
credit the source(s) in the article. Elsevier has forms for use by authors in these cases available at www.elsevier.com/locate/permissions

NIH voluntary posting policy
US National Institutes of Health (NIH) voluntary posting (" Public Access") policy
Elsevier facilitates author response to the NIH voluntary
posting request (referred to as the NIH "Public Access Policy", see http://www.nih.gov/about/publicaccess/index.htm) by posting the peer-reviewed author's manuscript directly to PubMed Central on request from the author, 12 months after formal publication.
Upon notification from Elsevier of acceptance, we will ask you to confirm via e-mail (by e-mailing us at NIHauthorrequest@elsevier.com)
that your work has received NIH funding and that you intend to respond to the NIH policy request, along with your NIH award number to
facilitate processing. Upon such confirmation, Elsevier will submit to PubMed Central on your behalf a version of your manuscript that
will include peer-review comments, for posting 12 months after formal publication. This will ensure that you will have responded fully
to the NIH request policy. There will be no need for you to post your manuscript directly with PubMed Central, and any such posting is
prohibited.
